 As long as no new blocking issues get discovered, it should be possible to
release 2.6.8 on the last weekend of January (-> Friday 27th)

 S2_6 is in permanent string freeze; there should be no changes to strings
since 2.6.7, or even 2.6.6.

 Dates are given as on UTC+2 -> Friday 27th begins Thursday 26th 22:00 UTC.
